That's the sound of snapping shrimp - music to oyster ears. Dr Dominic McAfee has been playing this sound underwater to help regenerate natural oyster reefs. He's been doing this work for years, but recently, there's been an upswell in interest, as the South Australian government tries to increase resilience against a harmful algal bloom. The ongoing environmental crisis has killed hundreds of species and resulted in tens, possibly hundreds, of thousands of marine deaths. Dr McAfee says South Australia used to be home to huge oyster reefs, which would have curbed the intensity of the algal bloom because they naturally filter the water. He's speaking here with SBS's Tee Mitchell, who started by asking about the role and extent of oyster reefs before colonisation.

On this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I'm joined once again by Calem O'Grady for a powerful and thought-provoking conversation. We take a deep dive into the South Australian bowhunting ban and unpack why Calem believes the right to bowhunt is not just a recreational choice, but a fundamental human right. He explains why banning it is, in his view, morally and ethically wrong—not only for hunters, but for wildlife management, cultural connection, and personal freedom.   From there, we explore Calem's journey into the world of traditional archery, including his passion for crafting and knapping his own arrowheads. He talks about how going traditional brought him closer to the origins of hunting and deepened his understanding of the craft.   Calem also shares stories from his fieldwork teaching bushcraft and survival skills, and how hands-on learning shapes more responsible and capable outdoorsmen and women. We discuss his involvement with Wild Origins Australia, what the organisation is working toward, and why their message matters now more than ever.   To wrap things up, Calem gives us an exciting preview of his upcoming trip to Africa—what he hopes to learn, what he hopes to teach, and how the experience ties into his broader mission within the hunting community.
